Now somebody PLEASE explain to me what the deal is with this "fan club releases". Basically, if I got this right, it's a recent bootleg done in good quality with some extra's, it's main quality being that it's so limited. Prices seem to be on a steep uphill slope. But why the fuck do people pay thousands of dollars for it? It's just a bootleg, right? I've never seen a bootleg become so expensive so quick, and I don't understand why.

Does anyone know this dealer?
Yes, I've bought a lot of stuff from Chris/waverleyrecords in the past few years. I've had absolutely no problems or complaints, and he's always answered me quickly, sent extra pictures upon request, etc. He does grade a little high sometimes; NM turns out to be EX perhaps. He's been selling his collection, and yeah, it looks like he picked up some old stock from somewhere, as he has multiple copies of the more common nwobhm items. His auctions usually end at a fair/reasonable price.
Hope that helps
That's cool mate, thanks for the info.
Glad to help. I never have figured out his pattern of Buy It Now vs regular auctions :)

Not exactly "insane", just lots of rare stuff:

And to think that Legion was sold together with a few others in a lot few months ago on ebay for some 25-30€ and I missed it :? Well, at least both went to members of this board :D

I'm only surprised that R.F. CD didn't sell as it almost never appears on ebay :?:

Wow, well, good call Patrik! I would not have thought a black label copy would sell that high. So far, only 2 bidders have gone over 110 GBP (~ $175), so this may be turning into a bid war or something.

Dude, I can't believe the "Razorback" went for $112.00 USD when it's a cut-out...

That's also the highest that I've seen the first Angel Dust go for since the auction that you won.

This makes my copy look as if it was a bargin. Mint condition, no writing in the booklet and still cheaper...

It seems that there are a bunch of cd's found anywhere (band ?) because I have never seen so much AGGRESSOR's offered since the last few weeks. Btw, a nice gem to fit in your collection - even it's musically not the best one...
